Women are silent caregivers. This is not to say that they are solely responsible for assuming household chores, and child-raising responsibilities. They are caregivers because they are intrinsically sensitive and compassionate. Though this might be a sweeping generalization, most women, even those who work outside their homes, take more interest in keeping the household in good shape than men do.

However, this doesn’t imply that men try to shirk their share of chores and parenting responsibilities. They simply need a gentle nudge. They need occasional reminders to take out the garbage, feed the cat, get the kids from school and pick up the clothes from the dry cleaners. This is where the woman of the house steps up and takes charge. She ensures that everything remains in place, she ensures you don’t run out of milk, she ensures the kids do their homework, she ensures the plumber fixes the clogged kitchen sink, and much more.

Women walk the extra mile to ensure the best of everything for the people they love. They deserve a special day dedicated to commemorating their efforts and initiatives. This Women’s Day, show your lady love what she means to you.

Here are some heartfelt gestures to make your woman feel special on Women’s day-

1. Write a letter or a poem

Certified group psychotherapist and family life educatorSaraKay Smullens says, “write your woman a letter or perhaps a poem (in ink, one you write yourself) delineating all you really do see your woman does to make your life meaningful, workable, special. Present it to her with one exquisite flower that you select yourself. If there are children, let them see you present your gift — it will be a wonderful lesson in appreciation and love.”

Along with making her feel special, you can make use of this opportunity to appreciate her for all the things she does for you. In the letter or poem that you write for her, explicitly mention the things that you are grateful to her for, that really makes a difference. Professional counselor Dr. LaWanda N Evans says, “an ‘I appreciate you’ written note, says I see you, I acknowledge you, I value you, and I appreciate you for all you do. “

A woman loves to know that you are truly listening, validating her ideas and feeling empathy for her.”
